Above all, holidays give me the opportunity to prepare things which I don't have enough time for during the school year. Crumpets, pikelets, crepes and cookies; when else could we prepare them if not during our spare time, when we don't have any projects, homework and a pile of clothes to iron? Of course during the holiday, we need some time for ourselves and we are not always happy to cook, but each to his own. The kitchen is exactly the right place for some people to wind down.

Pouncing on the last days of the winter holiday, I prepared afternoon tea, at the sight of which not only my children's eyes lit up. Fairly simple small pikelets with vanilla fromage frais and caster sugar, jam or yoghurt and fruit are mild and fluffy and bring back the lazy holiday afternoons at my grandmother's in the country.

Ingredients (8 pikelets)
200g of vanilla fromage frais
6 tablespoons of flour
1 tablespoon of desiccated coconut
1 egg
5 tablespoons of milk
½ teaspoon of baking powder
pinch of salt
oil for frying
caster sugar/yoghurt
fruit

Mix the vanilla fromage frais thoroughly with the egg. Add the flour, desiccated coconut, baking powder, salt and milk and mix them again. Heat the oil in a pan, fry the pikelets on a low heat until golden. Serve with your favourite extras.

Enjoy your meal!
